Egyptian General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi's growing cult-like following

The man responsible for
overthrowing Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Mursi this summer in Egypt
is General Adbul Fattal al Sisi. He is the head of Egypt’s armed forces, as
well as the country's defense minister and deputy prime minister, and he’s taking on a god-like status in the country, called “Sisi-Mania.”

Egypt’s airwaves are
filled with songs that extol the defense minister's victory against what they
call "the terrorists," and a recent editorial in the state newspaper
rhapsodized about "his bronzed, gold skin," and "herculean
strength."

There's even a Tumblr feed
that tracks the most gushing tributes, such as a poster who hails Sisi as "the
lion of the Egyptian army."

Sharif Bawal and his wife, Bahira
Galal, run a chocolate shop in an upscale Cairo neighborhood. Their sales
have sky-rocketed on the back of their unique Sisi chocolates, which come in a
cornucopia of different shapes, sizes and flavors.

Sharif told CBS News’
Clarissa Ward they created the chocolates as a way of thanking Sisi.

"For us it was a kind
of appreciation, that's all," he said.

Maha Abdulaziz is showing
her appreciation in a different way. She is an organizer with a campaign called Finish
the Job, which aims to have Sisi installed as Egypt's next president. Every night
its members go out to collect signatures for their cause.

Abdulaziz claims to
have 15 million already, and told Ward she won't stop until the general is president.

“He is very honest man and
he very good man and he really Egyptian man. And a strong man and he loves all
the Egyptians,” she said.
